Abstract
Background: It is well-established that patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) have a less favorable prognosis if a concomitant full-thickness cartilage lesion is present at the time of surgery. However, the long-term benefits of surgically addressing these cartilage lesions remain uncertain. Purpose: To evaluate whether the most used surgical treatments for cartilage lesions influenced patient-reported outcomes 10 years after ACLR. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: This study was based on a cohort of all patients with primary unilateral A
